Polls show George W. Bush is the most unpopular President in American history, but Congress is more unpopular still. Even though their party took over two years ago, progressive Democrats say the White House is getting whatever it wants. So what's the problem for the Republicans? We hear both sides. Also, President Bush marks progress by shortening tours in Iraq. On Reporter's Notebook, marijuana--legal in 12 states--has surpassed corn as America's leading cash crop. We hear about the industry in California.
